I Went Down to Virginia

I went down to Virginia and no one sent for me

I went down to Virginia to see what I could see

Well, I found the horses fastest, and the girls look best

The spirits of the states are guaranteed high test

So, I stayed down in Virginia 'cause that looked good to me

I went down to Virginia and I didn't know a soul

No wonder folks befriend ya, their hearts are made of pure gold

While the civic minded citizens are all so kind

They see to it you hook a fish on every line

So, I stayed down in Virginia, that's how much I've been so

So, bless the day that brought me here

And bless the folks I love so dear

Well, brother, if you ever plan a-coming this way

You find the things that's just exactly like I say

And you stayed down in Virginia, Virginia, U.S.A.

Yes, I went down to Virginia, I went by my request

No one needs recommend ya, 'cause you are a welcome guest

Well, I never thought I'd find a place where I could be

Just happy as a jaybird in a cherry tree

So, I stayed down in Virginia, 'cause that's the very best

So, bless the day that brought me here

And bless the folks I love so dear

Why, I plumb forgot to mention 'bout the biggest deal

My girl is named Virginia, that's Virginia real

So, I stayed down in Virginia, Virginia, Virginia, U.S.A.
